2.
Move throttle control lever to FAST
position.
3.
Hold operator presence
control bar
down to the handle and pull starter
handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.
TO STOP
ENGINE
• To stop engine, release operator
presence
control bar.
NOTE:
In cooler weather it may be
necessary to repeat priming steps. In
warmer weather
over priming may cause
flooding
and engine will not start. If you
do flood engine, wait a few minutes
before attempting to start and do not
repeat priming steps.
MOWING
TIPS
• Under certain conditions, such as very
tall grass, it may be necessary to raise
the height of cut to reduce pushing
effort and to keep from overloading the
engine and leaving clumps of grass
clippings. It may also be necessary to
reduce ground speed and/or run the
mower over the area a second time.
• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the
width of cut by overlapping
previously
cut path and mow slowly.
• For better grass bagging and most
cutting conditions, the engine speed
should
be set in the FAST position.
• When using a rear discharge
lawn
mower in moist, heavy grass, clumps
of
cut grass may not enter the grass
catcher.
Reduce
ground
speed
(pushing
speed)
and/or
run the lawn
mower over the area a second time.
• If a trail of clippings
is left on the right
side of a rear discharge
mower,
mow in
a clockwise
direction
with a small
overlap
to collect the clippings
on the
next pass.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers
can
become
filled with dirt and dust with
use and catchers
will collect
less grass.
To prevent
this, regularly
hose catcher
off with water and let dry before
using.
• Keep top of engine around
starter
clear
and clean of grass clippings
and chaff.
This will help engine
air flow and
extend
engine
life.
MULCHING
MOWING
TIPS
IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep mower housing free of built-up
grass and trash. See "CLEANING"
in the
Maintenance
section of this manual.
• The special mulching blade will recut
the grass clippings many times and
reduce them in size so that as they fall
onto the lawn they will disperse into the
grass and not be noticed. Also, the
mulched grass will biodegrade
quickly
to provide nutrients for the fawn.
Always mulch with your highest engine
(blade) speed as this will provide the
best recutting action of the blades.
• Avoid cutting
your lawn when it is wet.
Wet grass tends to form clumps
and
interferes with the mulching
action. The
best time to mow your lawn is the early
afternoon.
At this time the grass has
dried and the newly cut area will not be
exposed
to the direct sun.
• For best results, adjust the lawn mower
cutting
height so that the lawn mower
cuts off only the top one-third
of the
grass blades.
If the lawn is overgrown
it
will be necessary
to raise the height of
cut to reduce
pushing
effort and to keep
from overloading
the engine and
leaving
clumps
of mulched
grass. For
extremely
heavy grass, reduce your
width of cut by overlapping
previously
cut path and mow slowly.
=MAX 1/3
• Certain
types of grass and grass
conditions
may require that an area be
mulched
a second
time to completely
hide the clippings.
When doing a
second cut, mow across
or perpendicu-
lar to the first cut path.
• Change
your cutting
pattern from week
to week.
Mow north to south one week
then change
to east to west the next
week. This will help prevent
matting
and graining
of the lawn.
